EWU currently offers educational opportunities to students in multiple state jurisdictions through distance education. Due to the state authorization initiative, all universities offering education outside of their home state must be authorized by each state in which they offer education at a distance. EWU is monitoring developments in state laws in every state. Please refer to this page often.

Please check back periodically for changes to our admission policy. If you are a state agency and have questions about Eastern Washington University's distance education programs, please contact Ashley Stettler, EWU Extended Campus at astettler23@ewu.edu or (509) 359-7380.
